geli - why do I need a keyfile

I want to create a geli provider as authentication only, no password, no encryption. I do: # geli init -a HMAC/SHA256 -e NULL -P -s 4096 geli: No key components given. instead I tried # touch /tmp/key # geli init -a HMAC/SHA256 -e NULL -P -s 4096 -k /tmp/key test it # geli attach -p -k /tmp/key

glabel problem

I just got a no-name 1TB usb stick. Under FreeBSD11.0, I can see the device: root@apron:~ # geom disk list da2 Geom name: da2 Providers: 1. Name: da2 Mediasize: 1073741824000 (1.0T) Sectorsize: 512 Mode: r0w0e0 descr: (null) ident: (null) rotationrate: unknown fwsectors: 63
